Recent Recognizable Moments

There have been so many little moments recently that I have wanted to remember… Moments when I knew that God was in them that I must remember and record them.

God has revealed Himself to me ….

As I watched a former Bible Study acquaintance lift her hands in praise as she worshiped God while singing the Sunday after New Years. She is battling server brain cancer. Unsteady of her feet, surrounded by her husband and son, she lifted her hands in praise to her Heavenly Father as we sang of His love, hope and grace. I was humbled and honored to catch this glimpse of her beauty and faith.

As I have followed a dear family, whom we have known for years, that is in China adopting their son, Hudson. I first became acquainted with Lisa when she came to our home to scrapbook 11 years ago. Then we started going to church together, our husbands went to Kenya together twice, she was in MOPS and the coordinator one year, and we still attend the same Sunday School Class together. I am particularly close to the Moms who participated in MOPS those years – and it has been a joy to watch their children grow and to be part of their lives. This week I have watched and read online as they traveled to China to adopted their precious son. I am moved to tears as I read and watch their journey. God’s plan for Hudson to be adopted into their family is such a reminder of how God adopts us into His forever family – His ways are wonderful.

Last week, my daughter, Audrianna blessed me. Unbelievably, the front wheel of our tire came off as we were driving. One of the first things she said, after the car came to a stop and we discovered all was okay, was “Thank You God for protecting us.” Wow, that blessed me as I struggle with shame and frustration over car trouble – but she praised God right away. The protection of God was proved immediately as our neighbor and a man from our church drove by and were helping us within 5 minutes of the accident. Unbelievable again, was that we drove home in our car less than an hour after the tire came off.

My Blessings Unlimited Business and Team has recently blessed me so much. It is a joy to see our businesses grow and to know that the Blessings Unlimited products, adorned with the truth of God’s Words, are gracing the homes of so many. God has been using my mentoring gifts in the lives of these women and they in turn are blessings me with their stories and their faith. I am enjoying my calling to Blessings Unlimited so much!

So I thank you Lord for revealing yourself to me in these various ways – I pray that I would remember Your Faithfulness as You lead me through my life’s journey. ” You have caused Your wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.” (Psalm 111:4) ALL GLORY and PRAISE BELONGS TO YOU and YOU ALONE. Amen and Amen…

Please share how God has been revealing Himself through moments you have experienced lately….

I am having some conflict with a neighbor, and I am learning a lot about exercising wisdom in conflict. God is teaching me to hold my words … to pray and think through them … before I respond. I am responsible for how I choose to respond, but I am not responsible for how other’s respond.

This experience is teaching me a lot about being gracious even when I don’t feel I am being treated fairly.
